...so, oh well....You can't really tell a quilter friend NOT to give a baby gift, can you? Maybe quilts don't count.
And one of the other mommies in our little group is ALSO expecting a 2nd baby. Hers is due in May, but while we're all gathered tomorrow I'm going to discreetly pass her a little gift too.
This second baby quilt is just a simple nine-patch, but I love the citrusy colour palette, the "Tufted Tweets" prints, the little elephants (centre of each block and the full back)
...it brought a little sunshine into the house, even if I did have to unpick some lousy straight-line quilting.
The quilting is still straight-line, but now in a bright tangerine, with a solid aqua binding:
I hope each baby enjoys his/her quilt and that each momma can forgive my rule-breaking.

what sweet little quilts they are! i love the elephants backing fabric for the green and blue quilt, what is it?
Thanks Tong!
The elephant print is Robert Kaufman "playday." I bought it at Fabric Depot in Portland two summers ago...and it had been in the stash for far too long. Sad as I am to see (most) of it go, I am very happy thinking about it pleasing a little baby!!
When I tried to get a photo of this quilt on the living room floor, little Miss F rolled all over it -- enthusiastic about the sea of little elephants -- so Miss C and I had to take to the streets today.
Grogeous quilts and i am sure both babies and their mums will love them!
Thank you, Cherry!!
Lovely quilts...makes me want to have a baby! Or at least a baby shower so you can break the rules again! :-) xo m
